Abstract:The liquid-liquid mixing uniformity is an important parameter in the process of ozone water disinfection, a swirl diffusion static mixer was optimized to improve it. The concentration and the pressure distribution of ozone water in the mixer were determined by means of numerical simulation. Using the non-uniformity and pressure loss coefficients before and after the mixer as evaluation indices, the effects of distance, angle and other factors of mixing elements on the uniformity and pressure loss of ozone water were studied, accordingly, the mixer structure was optimized which was compared with the traditional SK mixer. The simulation showed the optimal structural parameters were following: the distance between adjacent mushroom heads was 40 mm, the intersection angle was 0° and the angle between the cross plate was 120°. Under this condition, the non-uniformity coefficient decreased from 1.92 to 0.074, and the pressure loss coefficient was 4.96%. Compared with the traditional mixer, the new mixer had a better mixing performance. In addition, the angle between the cross plates had large influence on the coefficient of non-uniformity and pressure loss. Key words:swirl diffusion static mixer/ numerical simulation/ non-uniformity coefficient/ pressure loss coefficient.
